If you diversify into OCaml or F#, I'll gladly help you advertise
your products.

Are either of those available on FreeBSD Unix, or Ubuntu Linux? If
so, what is the name of the program file, so that I can use
'whereis' and 'man' to find info about using it?

I don't know about BSD but there is an ocaml package for Ubuntu
(which package I've never used). In fact there seem to be quite
a few OCaml related packages which you can find in the Ubuntu
repositories. Regarding documentation many Ubuntu packages
don't come with a man page or the man page only has limited
information and the main documentation is accessible in some
other way. You do dpkg -L <package-name> which will give you the
list of files that came with a package and you'll see which of
those looks like documentation. For large packages the
documentation often exists in a separate package than the
programme itself. For example sbcl-doc is the documentation
for sbcl , cmucl-docs is the documentation for cmucl and , more
to the point , ocaml-doc is (I'm guessing) the documentation for
ocaml.
